Default wheel locks opinion

just wanna know what all ur opinions are on wheel locks...i just put some one and then read in some other forums that guys hate them cuz they brake off. They say to just stick with regular bolts. Any of you ever have problems like that with yours?

I would think that as long as your wheels are always tightened on by hand tools then you shouldn't have any problems. thanks

I use factory locking bolts. No problems with them at all, but I also never let anyone use an impact wrench on them.

I have gorilla also. no problems yet. except I've heard horror stories about the key snapping in half. It warms up when being used and then it can bend or break. if you get these, buy a few spare keys $12 each i think. other than that i'm happy with mine.

for every wheel lock you put on there is a tool to remove it so go down the insurance way and get protected no claims (UK ONLY I THINK) but worth a try

Yeah, always get the insurance coverage. I think it costs me around an extra $25 a year to cover the wheels.
